Q4 2025 Outlook: TOTAL CONTRACT REVENUES Increase mid- to high single digit as a percentage of contract revenues, compared to $952.5 million for Q4 2024 Included in the expectation of Q4 2025 is approximately $35 million of revenues from acquired businesses not owned for the entirety of both the current and prior year quarters. For comparison purposes, there were no acquired revenues from these businesses in the quarter ended January 27, 2024 (Q4 2024). As a result, organic revenues are expected to increase low-to- mid single digit as a percentage of contract revenues. NON-GAAP ADJUSTED EBITDA % OF CONTRACT REVENUES Increases approximately 25 basis points, compared to 9.8% in Q4 2024 Q4 2025 Supplemental Outlook Information: AMORTIZATION EXPENSE $9.9 million STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE $9.3 million Includes $2.1million of incremental expense related to CEO succession transition which will be excluded from Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income INTEREST EXPENSE, NET $16.5 million NON-GAAP EFFECTIVE INCOME TAX RATE 26.0% DILUTED SHARES 29.5 million 11 Outlook for Quarter Ending January 25, 2025 (Q4 2025)

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In the Company’s quarterly results releases, trend schedules, conference calls, slide presentations, and webcasts, it may use or discuss Non-GAAP financial measures, as defined by Regulation G of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company believes that the presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial measures in these materials provides information that is useful to investors because it allows for a more direct comparison of the Company’s performance for the period reported with the Company’s performance in prior periods. The Company cautions that Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported GAAP results. Management defines the Non-GAAP financial measures used as follows: • Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues - contract revenues from businesses that are included for the entirety of both the current and prior year periods, excluding contract revenues from storm restoration services and certain non-recurring items. Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenue change percentage is calculated as the change in Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues from the comparable prior year period divided by the comparable prior year period Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues. Management believes Non-GAAP Organic Contract Revenues is a helpful measure for comparing the Company’s revenue performance with prior periods. • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA - net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain on sale of fixed assets, stock-based compensation expense, and certain non-recurring items. Management believes Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is a helpful measure for comparing the Company’s operating performance with prior periods as well as with the performance of other companies with different capital structures or tax rates. • Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income - GAAP net income before certain non-recurring items and the related tax impact. Management believes Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income is a helpful measure for comparing the Company’s operating performance with prior periods. • Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share - Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. • Notional Net Debt - Notional net debt is a Non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by subtracting cash and equivalents from the aggregate face amount of outstanding debt. Management believes notional net debt is a helpful measure to assess the Company’s liquidity. Management excludes or adjusts each of the items identified below from Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share: • Stock-based compensation modification - During the quarter ended July 27, 2024, the Company announced its CEO succession plan and transition. In connection with this transition, the Company incurred stock-based compensation modification expense. The Company excludes the impact of the award modification because the Company believes it is not indicative of its underlying results or ongoing operations. • Loss on debt extinguishment - Loss on debt extinguishment includes the write-off of deferred financing fees in connection with the amendment of the Company’s credit agreement during the quarter ended July 27, 2024. Management believes excluding the loss on debt extinguishment from the Company’s Non-GAAP financial measures assists investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s current financial performance and provides management with a consistent measure for assessing the current and historical financial results. • Acquisition integration costs – The Company incurred costs of approximately $4.2 million in connection with the integration of a business acquired during the quarter ended October 26, 2024. The exclusion of the acquisition integration costs from the Company’s Non-GAAP financial measures provides management with a consistent measure for assessing financial results. • Tax impact of pre-tax adjustments - The tax impact of pre-tax adjustments reflects the Company’s estimated tax impact of specific adjustments and the effective tax rate used for financial planning for the applicable period. 13

Notes 1. Organic growth (decline) % from businesses that are included for the entirety of both the current and prior year periods, excluding contract revenues from storm restoration services and certain non-recurring items. When applicable, storm restoration revenues from acquired businesses are presented as revenues from storm restoration services in the calculation of organic growth (decline) %. 2. The impacts of a change order and the closeout of several projects increased contract revenues by $26.5 million for Q3 2024. After the impacts of certain other costs, these items contributed $23.6 million to Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2024. As a result, reported Adjusted EBITDA was increased by 1.8% as a percentage of contract revenues for Q3 2024. On an after-tax basis, these items contributed approximately $17.5 million to reported net income, or $0.59 per common share diluted for Q3 2024. Non-GAAP Organic Revenue Growth %, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA %, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Common Share exclude the impact of these items from Q3 2024. 3. Top 5 customers for Q3 2025 were AT&T, Lumen, Customer #3, Comcast, and Brightspeed. Top 5 Customer Organic Growth is calculated as the year-over-year organic revenue change for the current period top 5 customers. 4. Q3 2025 percentage of contract revenues for customers #6 through #10 included in All Other Customers are presented in the following table: 5. The Company’s backlog represents an estimate of services to be performed pursuant to master service agreements and other contractual agreements over the terms of those contracts. These estimates are based on contract terms and evaluations regarding the timing of the services to be provided. In the case of master service agreements, backlog is estimated based on the work performed in the preceding 12-month period, when available. When estimating backlog for newly initiated master service agreements and other long and short-term contracts, the Company also considers the anticipated scope of the contract and information received from the customer during the procurement process. A significant majority of the Company’s backlog comprises services under master service agreements and other long-term contracts. Backlog is not a measure defined by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, information provided in accordance with GAAP. Participants in the Company’s industry also disclose a calculation of their backlog; however, the Company’s methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodologies used by others. Dycom utilizes the calculation of backlog to assist in measuring aggregate awards under existing contractual relationships with its customers. The Company believes its backlog disclosures will assist investors in better understanding this estimate of the services to be performed pursuant to awards by its customers under existing contractual relationships. 6. As of both Q2 2025 and Q3 2025, the Company had $47.5 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility. 7. Liquidity represents the sum of availability from the Company’s Senior Credit Facility, considering net funded debt balances, and available cash and equivalents. For calculation of availability under the Senior Credit Facility, applicable cash and equivalents are netted against the funded debt amount. 8. DSO is calculated as the summation of current and non-current accounts receivable (including unbilled receivables), net of allowance for doubtful accounts, plus current contract assets, less contract liabilities, divided by average revenue per day during the respective quarter. Long-term contract assets are excluded from the calculation of DSO, as these amounts represent payments made to customers pursuant to long-term agreements and are recognized as a reduction of contract revenues over the period for which the related services are provided to the customers. 9. The Company incurred costs of approximately $4.2 million in connection with the integration of a business acquired during the quarter ended October 26, 2024. 10. In connection with the Company’s CEO succession plan and transition announced in June 2024, the Company will incur approximately $11.4 million of stock-based compensation modification expense through the current CEO’s retirement date of November 30, 2024 related to previously issued existing equity awards. Of this total, approximately $7.1 million was recognized during the quarter ended October 26, 2024. 18 Charter Frontier Verizon Windstream Gigapower 6.8% 6.3% 5.2% 2.0% 1.6%
